From what I've seen people tend to just brush it off unless it gets really out of hand. If you believe it is, then creating a thread like this is a good start for positive construction, or just leaving the website (which would be unfortunate). It's a byproduct of the demographics that make up the core community. Just as with any forum or any society. |
Thanks... that's basically my perspective. Let's make something positive happen of this, not fan it away.
I do appreciate some of the criticism vice versa. A thick skin is very nice to have on any forum and I made a thread about this at one point and edit: / how to treat forum psychology/ (you can check my profile if you care)... however, I've been to plenty of forums over 15-20 years... I do not understand the moderation structure here.
To me, leaving comments up after "moderating" them (which is not moderation imo) is equal to creating a arena for trolls... in fact, I would not be surprised if Ben (no offense personally) and others here just making comments to entertain themselves rather than actually think with your POV. It's to be expected on the internet, but if you have a forum with moderates to manage "discussion", then we maybe need to consider what is being encouraged in that manner.
